22 April 1675 @ Whitehall or St. James's

Event Comment: John Verney to Sir Ralph Verney, 25 April 1675: The King on Saturday night sent for the keys from the Earl of Clarendon--'tis said the reason is, that last Thursday a play was acted at court, and after orders given that no more should be let in, his lordship came to the door, which the guard refused to open, tho' he told them who he was, on which he broke it open and struck a yeoman of the guard. Some say a chamberlain was never before turned out for beating a yeoman of the guard (HMC, 7th Report, Appendix, [1879], p. 464)

May 1675 @ Drury Lane Theatre

Event Comment: The King's Company. There is no certainty as to when this play was first performed. As it was licensed on 27 May 1675, the month of May is the latest for its premiere, but it was quite possibly presented before May, as the known performances for Drury Lane in May do not provide much opportunity for another play
